Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and am enjoying reading your experiences on here. I had dismissed the idea of being pregnant this cycle but my mind has begun to wonder again.
I only came off the pill in November. I had a normal period exactly 28 days later. Planning for my ovulation over Christmas, hubby and I DTD plenty. Then less than two weeks later I had a very light bleed for two days. I got all excited about it being implantation bleeding and took a test that had a very faint line on it. But the test had expired two years ago so I took it with a pinch of salt knowing that it might have been inaccurate. I waited until the 28 day point and took a Clear Blue digital test and it came back negative. I kind of dismissed it at this point.
I've not had any more symptoms, apart from occasionally having very short bouts of nausea but that could easily have been another reason.. The reason I'm wondering though, is surely I should have had a proper period? Where does the lining go if it isn't all bled out? I appreciate I might not have gone back to normal cycle wise after coming off the pill but when I've come off the pill before I have always been regular and I have never experienced a period like the short bleed I had this month.
I have avoided taking more tests as I don't want to get in the habit of just doing them all the time when I'm probably not as it's just a waste of money. I know I could just take a test and be sure but I'm curious as to what you guys think.
Many thanks for your help!
